Countermeasures lightning strikes in factories, logistics, and warehouses

Major damage caused by lightning strikes in factories, logistics, and warehouses

The important thing in corporate disaster prevention is to protect human life first, and then to minimize damage to business assets while enabling the continuation or early recovery of core business. The loss of human resources, equipment, and information assets due to a disaster can be a great loss to a company.

More automated the factory,
the greater the damage caused by lightning strikes.

  • Suspension of shipment due to damage to equipment (mechanical/electrical system)
  • Damage/fire of facilities (buildings and factories)
  • The server crashed and the data disappeared
  • Shutdown of air-conditioning and refrigeration/freezing equipment

A PDCE lightning rod is a lightning rod that does not strike lightning

Recommended products for factory facilities

Products according to protected areas

In addition to wide-area products that cover the entire building (maximum radius of 100m per unit), we also offer compact models that spotively cover facilities such as factories and warehouses. Lightning protection can be achieved under any conditions to suit your needs.

Can be installed in high-temperature facilities

The lineup also includes products that use ceramic as an insulator and can be installed in places such as chimneys that are likely to be exposed to high temperatures. You can realize effective lightning strike countermeasures that you have given up so far.

Examples of installation in factories and warehouses

Buildings that are more resistant to lightning

"Direct lightning countermeasures" and "induced lightning countermeasures"
to protect facilities and equipment from lightning damage

A PDCE lightning rod does not receive a direct lightning strike, so a large current does not flow, and there is no side effect on the incidental facilities of the building. Therefore, it is possible to make the building more resistant to lightning by using it together with induced lightning countermeasures such as SPD and lightning arrester.
